ThinPrint Releases .print Version 7.6

Saturday, 11 August 2007 by Michel Roth

One of the more well-known Server Based Computing printing products, ThinPrints .print, has been updated to version 7.6. This new version introduces new features and enhancements such as " Adaptive Speed" (compression can be modified according to the bandwidth control) and preliminary Windows Server 2008 XPS support.

All the new features:

Print five times faster thanks to Adaptive Speed
You can print faster with version 7.6, because the compression adapts to your network architecture and bandwidth control.

Extended platform support and integration
Structural revisions and a multitude of detail improvements ensure that ThinPrint customers also get maximum use out of the new Server 2008 XPS technology. A Windows 2008 certification for ThinPrints solution will be available soon.

Driver Free Native Printing
In Driver Free Printing of Version 7.6, it is now also possible to automatically transfer most individual properties of the native printer driver (such as paper formats,paper trays, and resolution) to Output Gateway and to display them there.

.print AutoConnect: Variables
To simplify printer administration, in version 7.6 it is now possible to use variables. In addition to the wildcards, variables (example: %LPSRV%) can now also be used in the name translation table. Several printers can thus be created with one single entry where the variables are replaced by the printer name or the print server name of the printer in the .print Client respectively.

Two license models: server- and user-based licensing
Version 7.6 introduces an alternative license model option where purchase of .print licenses is based on users rather than the previous server-based licensing.
The availability of two license models thus guarantees fair and cost-effective licensing in every environment where .print technology is used to optimize print management. The server-based and user-based license models will be permanently available. Choosing which license model to purchase should be based on the existing environment.

Central license management: License manager in the MMC
With version 7.6, License Manager is now part of the MMC (Microsoft Management Console). License keys can now be entered and managed at a central point for remote servers. The server on which the license keys are entered can be any server in the network on which .print Engine is installed.
